We also discuss the news including updates on Power Rangers comics for the past month and Hasbro’s Power Rangers comments during their first quarter 2022 financial results.
We know the real difference between pancakes and flapjacks…
How could Hasbro have better prepared for fan backlash? Were expectations too high going into the event? What was up with Power Ranger’s tweet before the event? What does Kenn have to apologize for?

The start of this season is so good, it’s Numero Uno in our book. Is The Festival an appropriate way to celebrate this success or are we trying to connect the Missing Pieces of episode titles to write something clever?
Almost a year to the day, we welcome back Simon Bennett to the podcast for a second interview. Simon is best known in Ranger Nation as the current Showrunner and Executive Producer for Power Rangers Dino Fury.

In our Extra Episode for February 2022, brought to you by our supporters on Patreon, Eric and Zach are joined by Doug (@ickybooley) to talk about news! Actual, honest to Zordon news!
…yes, we discuss Amy Jo Johnson‘s vague tweets about Power Rangers. Does OG mean (aside from Original Gangster) the actors or the characters? Should the fandom stop freaking out? What does this mean for the future… if anything?
Today, Hasbro announced new products from their entire catalog of brands. The full press release can be found here on Business Wire.
In addition, The Power Rangers will make a morphinomenal return with season 2 of Power Rangers Dino Fury. The first half of season 2 (11 episodes) will debut exclusively on Netflix in the U.S. on March 3, 2022 and will premiere on Teletoon in Canada on March 5, 2022. With villains new and old gathering against them, the Dino Fury Power Rangers are destined to face their greatest challenges yet in the latest installment of the series.
Season 1 introduced us to a brand-new team of Power Rangers, fueled by the prehistoric power of the dinosaurs and recruited to deal with the threat of an army of powerful alien beings. The series will pick up right where season 1 left off, with the fate of Void Knight and Santaura revealed. Evil forces and influential villains will continue to disrupt the Dino Fury Rangers. Season 2 will also see Zayto and Aiyon discovering more about Rafkon, their home planet, the development of new and existing relationships, and the introduction of never-before-seen characters. Fans can also look forward to the reveals of exciting, new power-ups, including new Dino Boost Keys!
The new trailer is on Netflix, which you can preview below – as well as the new intro on the Power Rangers’ Twitter account.
